Official Texans @ Jaguars Game Thread, 9/16/2012

[Arky]

The Texans travel to Jacksonville this Sunday to take on the always scrappy Jags in an early game. Texans are coming off a victory, 30-10 over the Miami Dophins in their season opener. It's a division game and these are always hard fought contests despite the records or reputations.

The Jags were in Minnesota last weekend where they lost in OT to the Vikings, 26-23. Look for QB Blaine Gabbert to target Cecil Shorts, Laurent Robinson, Marcedes Lewis and rookie Justin Blackmon in the passing game while mixing in Maurice Jones-Drew as a checkdown guy and rusher.

TV = CBS (Channel 11 local) 12 noon Sunday

Announcers = Marv Albert, Rich Gannon

The line = Texans by 7 to 8.5
